ALL schools shld hv release DSA results (offers/rejections) by 31 Aug via calls/emails/post letters) to candidates.


Once candidates receives CO, and some wld hv applied to several schools, the schools & other candidates will appreciate if CO recipients can decisively select their school of choice & inform other schools to release your COs which u DO NOT want asap. Only, I’m not certain it shld be done before 31 Aug or 30 Oct, as Option Forms to accept COs will be sent out after 31 Aug & closing date is 30 Oct.

These dates are all in sync with all schools under MOE system. So, depending on how fast admin works & how considerate those who received more than one COs release places/opportunities to others & schools are trying to work within the MOE framework to convert WL.

So, if School A offered 80 COs & 10 WL places but amongst 15 of their candidates received 2 or more COs fr other schools. If considerate & decisive parents inform School A immediately (before 31 Aug) that they’ve decided on School B, opportunity goes to next in line for WL.

Assuming 12 kind & decisive parents act fast to release places their DC will not need as they’ve replied to accept School B, those 10 WL will be converted to COs & they’ll call up 2 more to offer WL.

I believe the deadline is 31 Aug bcoz the Principal briefed that after that date, it is not within his control to convert WL. So, going by the fact that Option Forms will be issued btwn 31 Aug to 30 Oct, I’ll assume these are then controlled in MOE system.

After Option Forms are returned (closing date 30 Oct), the formal registration of DSA choices begins btwn 30 Oct to 3 Nov. once DSA Registration completed, these DSA CO recipients will not participate in S1 posting.

So, advice to parents with >1 COs to please consider others who want that extra opportunities you’re holding to be decisive & choose your DC’s choice & RELEASE immediately so that the sch admin can make other anxious parents’ day converting their WL.

For those anxious parents with WL or hv not been called, relax abit don’t tense yourself up. DS may hv received CO but we still want to see consistent effort put in for PSLE. It’s to train habits that will be a lifetime - DSA distracts him & we’ve not inform DC good news till after Prelims.

All the best for this coming week to those waiting for that call/email/letter.

I am not sure one can do that. As per my information given to me by Admin at NUS high during tea party, when the school releases their CO and waitlist they submit it to MOE and changes to that can be made only by MOE after the option forms are filled. So even if the parents want to be considerate and helpful its not possible to inform school and cancel the CO

So, your u'stand'g same that after Option Form submitted no more changes.

So, if all parents with >1 COs can decide fast, precious places can be released to qualifying hopefuls down the line.

Good suggestion, but not feasible. As so many schools results not out yet, I don't think the patents and students can make decision on spot next week when receiving co. Only hope next Monday, then some parents may call admin before 31/8. I know quite some, they just DSA first, after getting co, then START to think which one is the most suitable. Even if some call admin, admin must have enough time to call other parents, modify whole wl, and submit to moe. If they think time not enough, they won't bother to do it if only few cases, as they already have wl, it works every and each year.

[smiling]

The convert of WL to co will only be announced after psle I thought? That’s why some school can ask their WL students to put the school as their 1st choice to have higher chance to be converted?

[Estéema]

Also, for those who hear from more than one schools & received both CO & WL, consider based on your child’s choice & preference.


If School A is choice school, even WL is not a lost deal.

a) WL for school A
b) CO for school B

Student can consider 1st WL as some schools who hv those who released COs quickly enuf to enable school to convert your WL to CO. Even if not successful in school A, you still hv the CO fr school B. According to our briefing, the principal clearly pointed out the second CO will not be taken fr you. So, exercise your choice this way if your DC’s choice school is school A.

[smiling]

It dose not matter if you get 2 or more co or co+WL. Spend reasonable time to compare the schools carefully, select the only one that suits our DC is very important. I don’t think there are parents will Dsa to schools they don’t like. It’s only which one like the best or suits the best.

Hi Dunma,

Honestly, I don't know about other schools' admin but it is from the principal's plea to parents to decide & release quickly if they don't want the place so that others can benefit from that precious offer of place. I'm comforted that these educators hv the heart for the students & parents to bother to highlight & work fast. I've not heard much KSP parents talk abt making these decisions in consideration of others, esp those with more than 1 COs.
